Smiley duly noted ;)

The FPGAs so far are all CoCo 3, aren't they?  The behaviour I have in
mind is an internal function of the SAM (so unless that happened to
be carried forward, Dragon/CoCo 1/2 only).  Unless you had a handle
on exactly what it was doing, you're likely to hit the same issue
reimplementing it in FPGA!

I have just thought of one more thing to check out wrt this behaviour
though, so maybe that's something for me to do this weekend!
